##### Including condition 3: Using support during calibration
After the first, failed attempt, we tried calibrating the robot while it was resting against the door to the bathroom, as the door was perpendicular to the floor and flat. This allowed the robot to calibrate at a more steady, upright position - this, for instance, reduced the risk of us accidentally tilting the robot when pushing the start button after calibration (or actually during, since it goes wrong because the robot is still calibrating while we are trying to push the button). We placed the robot at a small angle to the door (see Video 2), as we assessed that the robot had too much weight in the front because of its sensor. This worked better, but the robot seemed to be clinging to the door.
